Did I wish this book into existence or… 🤣🤣

Do you ever just wish you had time to completely get lost in a book but instead find yourself reading only like a chapter over the course of days and feel like you'll never finish? That's where I'm at with this. It's been hard to find thee time to read, but I want to just devour this!

Two-thirds of the way through and there is no plot insight! 🤣🤣

Just when I’m not sure about where this book is going, Shannon shows up and hits hard. Daaaaang!

W H A T

I forgot how freaking intense and insane this all is

Okay but this is the dumbest of the second covers. It's so inaccurate to Aya XD

"His skin is alabaster, his hair midnight, his eyes two pale blue gemstones throwing back the light of the Celestial. Strange that even the devil reflects God's glory."

Rereading for a book club and I'm technically listening to it and reading along with the physical copy too

FINALLY dragons show up. The cover was teasing me!

Nothing is immortal. But only to us is it given to know that we must die. And that is a great gift; the gift of selfhood. For we have only what we know we must lose, what we are willing to lose… That selfhood which is our torment, and our treasure, and our humanity, does not endure. It can changes; it is gone, a wave on the sea.

Remorse is not repentance. Remorse is regret and guilt, coupled with shame. While repentance turns to Jesus and confesses.

There is a certain bleakness in finding hope where one expected certainty.

His deeds were matter of legends, not of this present world. It was as if the Archmage had named him son of myth, inheritor of dreams.

Lizzie is a riot, but I also love Colin so much

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh

Not going to lie, the stuff happening with Zane gives me so much anxiety and also I absolutely hate that it could have been avoided if Maddy had included a brief note of instruction for Tally. GAH

I both want to read this super fast and devour the story and also take it slow and savor it. I think this is going to be a story I’ll revisit again and again.

I believe the most important goal we can set for ourselves is to enjoy what we do every day—or as often as possible. The acts of creation. Daydreaming. Brainstorming. Figuring out tricky plot twists. Getting to know interesting characters. Making ourselves laugh and cry or even gasp when the story takes a turn we weren’t expecting.

The details in this are so lovely. But every time I read about Gulliver the baby seagull I think of Animal Crossing 🤣

I might as well reread the whole series (via audio) at this point. Then maybe I'll actually read the sequel series XD

As much as I enjoy everything about this book, I wish Valentino was involved more. If Gabi or Lia had been taken to Firenze, nothing would have stopped Marcello or Luca for being there. Yeah I get the guy is seen as a traitor and would be tortured if caught but I wish there was more explanation of why he wasn’t taking any action.

Do I know Lisa will give this book a happy ending? Yes, of course. And I still worried about ALL the characters and everything that is happening? YES! Because I am SCARED of what else she might do!

Rereading for a book club, and I'm excited to introduce this book to teens!

You go, Luciana! You get them!

Partial surrender or half-hearted belief equals no surrender and ultimately disbelief. Just ask Judas.

Title thing!!

If Matt Murdock can be Daredevil, Luciana can still kick butt!

When you're about to get to an exciting part and your lunch break is over and you have to stop reading... *sigh*
